Our Self Defense-Classes

We believe that personal safety is about decreasing the risk of being attacked in the first place while also helping to increase your overall odds of survival if something does happen. Self-defense is more than just martial arts. It’s about educating yourself on real life dangers and how to address those situations. We can help you to make sure that you are fully prepared while also empowering you to feel more confident in yourself and your abilities.

Why We Stand Apart

BARRIER has a range of self-defense classes that are designed to give you the knowledge, empowerment, and motor skills you need to effectively defend yourself in a threatening situation. Our robust training programs are presented in easy to understand modules, each designed to target a specific need. From beginner to advanced, general safety to particular situations, you can choose the class that’s right for you and your concerns. These classes go beyond a particular martial art or group of techniques, including education on the mindset, awareness, and communication that is effective for a self-defense situation.

What Do I Need To Know About The Training?

Our training courses are fully designed to be informative, instinctual, and innovative, meaning that you can get the full experience without being put through years of training. We can help you to deal with problems that people across the world face on a daily basis, after all, reality demands practicality and what might work in the training room might not always be suitable for use in real life. Our solutions, however, can be used by anyone, at anytime, anywhere. In our training courses, you will learn reality based scenarios that are fully designed to replicate a real-life situation.

A lot of companies are now hosting self-defense classes because they feel as though it would benefit their employees. Already real estate agents, hospitals, courier services and home care givers are feeling safer.

I loved the class. The instructors presented the material in a very clear and easy to learn way.

I hope that every woman makes the time in their busy schedule to take a class like this. I know that they too would feel more confident and strong in dealing with violence.
